Lorenzo Doss says Broncos' front office put out fake news about him

The Broncos waived cornerback Lorenzo Doss on Thanksgiving Day after he was late to a meeting. The third-year cornerback went unclaimed on waivers and has remained a free agent since then.

Perhaps teams are staying away from Doss based on advice from Denver’s front office. The cornerback suggested on Twitter that director of player personnel Matt Russell and general manager John Elway have put out “fake news” about him being a locker room problem.

I’m disappointed in Matt Russell and Elway for putting out fake news about me. I never had a problem or been a problem in the locker room!! #scapegoat

Doss (5-11, 187 pounds) was selected by the Broncos in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL draft out of Tulane. Doss has been inactive for much of his career in Denver, recording four tackles and breaking up two passes in 15 appearances over the last three seasons.

Doss has been buried on the team’s depth chart behind players like Aqib Talib, Chris Harris, Bradley Roby, Kayvon Webster and now Brendan Langley, but he performed well in past training camps and preseasons.
